THE

DRONES

Ah, someone else has played Singularity, I see. That was a really fun game.

Absolutely not. Kids should be kept away from social media as it exists now. Frankly, kids need to be supervised on the Internet as a whole, because there’s so much dangerous shit out there to hurt them.

I had a positive opinion of him because he gave me all three parts of Jill on floppy when I was a kid at a show.

Now I wish I knew less about him.

That’s the secondary goal. I feel like there’s enough 3rd party tools to fix that, that I want the repairs done in the backend and trust power users and user-devs to handle the UX.

I wish I didn’t know things about Tim, and could just see him as the guy who gave CliffyB his start, wrote ZZT and Jill of the Jungle, and is at war against Valve.

98SE would mostly work.

Wait, you didn’t just use PKWare zip & unzip? Or WinRAR?

Okay, that’s easy: remove all the LLM slop. That’ll start fixing it. Then get the ads out of the UI. Get rid of the MS account requirement, and make all updates optional. For a stretch goal, go back to making an OS that only does what the user tells it to, and doesn’t have any function to phone home without direct user input.

Or a distro using Wayland for higher end PCs.

Yet another way Canadian culture has become Americanized.

Give that man a medal!

I don’t have a problem with them selling ads. I have a problem with the insidious tracking that has become a part of those ads. Mojeek sells ads but doesn’t track you everywhere. Also, there’s SearX instances, which typically don’t sell ads or data.

They also don’t use LLMs. If you think Kagi isn’t giving away or selling your data, think again, because the LLM is doing it as a core function.

This would seem to fall in line with current foreign policy. Should we be surprised?

I’m not a fan of Kagi’s approach to anything, frankly. The fact that they’re charging money for a search engine, and using an LLM? Hard pass.

Sadly I’m in US East, I don’t remember the name of our server.

I miss The Specialists.

Everything in the world is propaganda or advertising. You have a choice to believe it or not.

Fair enough :-)

Yeah. I’m actually kind of upset that I have to type ‘noai’. That should be the standard.
